With the annual garage sale this year came some major changes in our furniture decor.

It was time to get rid of a couple unused and unloved pieces.

One might surprise you…our dining room table.

Now many of you might think of this as the family gathering place for homecooked meals and long chats about the day, and although we strive for both of those things — they usually happen at our kitchen bar area. So there was just no need for the table.

It was really only a launching area for Lucy to gaze at the birds and chipmunks…

Now it is a pretty sitting area that leaves a lot more room for running and playing.
